If fans are looking for Whitney of the late 80s, you’re going to be disappointed. The range and caliber of her voice has changed over the years, the high pitch is almost gone and so is the catchy tune she’s so famous for. But just this cannot discard the album. Whitney, like any other artist would outgrow her heydays and with that her golden voice. So here is the music album of Whitney Houston of the 80s made by an artist known as Whitney Houston of 2010.

During the seven years she’s been away, she’s had problems with her marriage to singer Bobby Brown and her drug addiction. She’s thrown it all away now and is back doing what she does best: Singing. The new work at the very first listen can be labeled as the music of today, clubby and dancehall. The subject matter is Whitney’s life story on her ups and downs, coming to terms on her personal life and reaching for a higher strength, reaching deep inside you and making amends.

You have the opener ‘Million Dollar Bill’ (written by Alicia Keys) that fuses a 70s disco beat moving over to get you spinning yourself on the dance floor. "Nothing but love" has a great beat to it, and her vocals are excellent.

Her vocals in the balladic ‘I Look to You’ is soothing, with the same going for ‘I Didn't Know My Own Strength’, though there is no switch in Whitney’s vocals. Quite mundane we’d say. But then she shows her yesteryear magic on ‘A Song for you’ (her fans probably) where she holds the note at the end. The song is one of the few that showcase her vocals to the hilt. You’ve got to hear that note. It's like 20 seconds long. That's Whit for you. Akon pitches in on ‘Like I never left’ which is unnecessary.

Whitney and executive producer and mentor Clive Davis have done a great job on this album, even though just a few make it to the best slot. It’s definitely a must have for Whitney fans.
